What Time Zone Should You Use for Your Nintendo Switch?
Last updated
Ever puzzled over which time zone you should set on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Let’s straighten this out together.
Choosing the right time zone for your Nintendo Switch can enhance your gaming experience. So, what time zone should you use? Let’s find out!
Choosing the Correct Time Zone
For your Nintendo Switch, you should set the time zone to wherever you primarily use the device. This means if you live in New York, you’ll select Eastern Standard Time (EST). If you’re in Los Angeles, you’ll pick Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Setting the correct time zone ensures that game releases, events, and online interactions happen when they’re supposed to for you. For instance, some games might unlock based on the time zone you’ve set, so you wouldn’t want to miss out on the fun because your Switch thinks you’re halfway across the world!
